Livestock Cattle, Hogs, Poultry, Sheep and Goats

Transcription

1 The most important pests of livestock in Louisiana are horse flies, horn flies, mosquitoes, lice, ticks, cattle grubs, mites and houseflies. These pests are responsible for large losses to the livestock industry of Louisiana. Extreme care should be exercised when applying insecticides on livestock. Observe the following safety precautions: 1. Do not treat sick animals. 2. Do not use more insecticide than is recommended. 3. Since some of the insecticides are secreted in milk or stored in body fat, it is highly important to observe all precautions and conform to the regulations regarding the minimum time allowed from last treatment to slaughter or the freshening interval for dairy cattle. 4. Do not use insecticide formulations for livestock treatment unless this use is listed on the container label. 5. Do not use any insecticide in a dip unless this use is recommended. 6. When using an emulsifiable concentrate, be sure it mixes uniformly with the water. If an oil layer forms, do not use it. 7. When selecting an insecticide for use, read the precautions listed in this guide and the precautions listed on the label of the container. 8. When applying insecticides to livestock or around barns, do not contaminate feed or food and water troughs or allow runoff into streams.
